The amount of energy a building uses is dependent on the losses through the walls, roof, floor and windows, the type of energy system, thermostat location or zone control, ceiling fans or air movement. Ideally your building is insulated to minimize losing heat or gaining heat. Heat rises and baseboard heat is usually put under high heat loss areas so ir rises straight up without being utilized by the rest of the room. Here is a link so you can look at heat loss from buildings in the infrared spectrum. http://www.thermoguy.com/globalwarming-heatloss.html
Before you buy a house, what color is it on the exterior? Is it shaded on the East and West sides? Building exteriors are supposed to reflect solar radiation or the building will be radiated and generate heat it isn`t insulated for. Look at some infrared images here as well as time-lapsed infrared video. http://www.thermoguy.com/urbanheat.html Be careful, you don`t want to buy a building that isn`t going to be energy efficient or not compliant with building codes.

Baseboard heat is usually used where forced air or gas isn`t available. It is a type of heating system that is clean if used properly. Used properly means using ceiling fans with good zone control. Baseboard heat goes straight up in thermal images, ceiling fans move the air around the room.
Usually baseboards have zone control or thermostats in each room so if you aren`t using the room, turn them down or off. It doesn`t devalue your home in its function.

You wouldn`t want to add air conditioning to baseboard heat. Air conditioning is really refrigeration and that should tell you there is a building problem.
Buildings are insulated to keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. If your building is using air conditioning, it is being radiated by the sun and creating heat the building isn`t insulated for. Here is an example in the infrared spectrum. http://www.thermoguy.com/urbanheat.html.

The question states that how much would it roughly cost to add central airconditioning system into a house that already has forced heat installed, mainly it depends on what seers of airconditioning unit you intend to install. Then it also depends on the are that has to be covered once the airconditionor has been installed. Roughly it is estimated as $800 per seer in northern states. (Sidq1_Jawad Nazir)

Electric baseboard heat even though it may be old and a little less efficient than newer models(maybe not) will heat the room more efficient which means they will shut off faster and use less electricity. The space heater would run continuously and probably never heat the room. Make sure to not block the baseboard heaters as much as you can and you`ll get better efficiency. Which means cheaper electric bills.

There isn`t any such thing as phantom power, watts are watts and I don`t think you have power losses because of line loss.
Baseboards have zone control or thermostats either mounted on the heater or on the wall and if you leave them on a little bit, they will use power. If you aren`t in the room where the baseboard heater is, leave the heater off and use ceiling fans to move air around the room.

Cost to heat your house with electric baseboard heaters will depend on the temperature of the surroundings and the house size and the ventilation of the house. it can be quiet expensive in colder areas or if your house is very well ventilated. electric baseboard heaters are effective.
